"Harmony Of All Religions" (Sarvadharma Samanvy) -- A Book Exploring Inner Light and Sound Meditation in the Great World Religions: Vedic Tradition -- Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, and the Sant Mat tradition -- Authored by Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj, Translated Into English by Veena Howard, Published by the Santmat Society of North America, also published by Maharshi Mehi Ashram, Kuppaghat, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India, and, Sant Mat Society of North America, and, Santmat Satsang Samiti, Chandrapur, India.
"Vedic dharma has its temples, Christianity its churches, and Islam its mosques. But the real temple is the heart. God is attained within: the path to God lies within oneâs own self, as all the saints have taught this with unanimity. The inner path begins in Sushumana, ajana chakra (the tenth gate between two eyebrows)."
Our Path Back to the Source -- The Inward Journey Back to God -- The Essence of Dharma
"Sant Mat (the path and teachings as taught and practiced by saints) delineates the path of union of soul with the Divine. The teachings of the saints explain the re-uniting as follows:
"The individual soul has descended from the higher worlds [the Realm of the Divine] to this city of illusion, bodily existence. It has descended from the Soundless State to the essence of Sound, from that Sound to Light, and finally from the realm of Light to the realm of Darkness. The qualities (dharmas, natural tendencies) of the sense organs draw us downward and away from our true nature.
"The nature of the soul (atman) draws us upwards and inwards and establishes us in our own true nature. Returning to our origins involves turning inward: withdrawal of consciousness from the senses and the sense objects in order to go upward from the darkness to the realms of Light and Sound. [We experience this phenomenon of withdrawal as we pass from waking consciousness to deep sleep.] Another way to express this is to go inward from the external sense organs to the depth of the inner self. (Both of these expressions are the metaphors that signify the same movement). The natural tendencies of the soul (atman) are to move from outward to inward. The current of consciousness which is dispersed in the nine gates of the body and the senses, must be collected at the tenth gate.
"The tenth gate is the gathering point of consciousness. Therein lies the path for our return. The tenth gate is also known as the sixth chakra, the third eye, bindu, the center located between the two eyebrows. This is the gateway through which we leave the gates of the sense organs and enter in the divine realms and finally become established in the soul. We travel back from the Realm of Darkness to the Realm of Light, from the Light to the Divine Sound, and from the Realm of Sound to the Soundless State. This is called turning back to the Source.
"This is what dharma or religion really intends to teach us. This is the essence of dharma."

Notes
This is the first book in English featuring the teachings of Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj, in the lineage of Param Sant Tulsi Sahib, the famous Saint of Hathras, India, in the Sant Mat tradition. The lineage began with Tulsi. After him were several Gurus, including Baba Devi Sahib. Maharshi Mehi Paramahans was the chief disciple and spiritual successor of Baba Devi Sahab.
